In the high-energy quantum-physics literature one finds statements such as "matrix algebras converge to the sphere". Earlier I provided a general precise setting for understanding such statements, in which the matrix algebras are viewed as…
In an earlier paper of mine relating vector bundles and Gromov-Hausdorff distance for ordinary compact metric spaces, it was crucial that the Lipschitz seminorms from the metrics satisfy a strong Leibniz property. In the present paper, for…
On looking at the literature associated with string theory one finds statements that a sequence of matrix algebras converges to the 2-sphere (or to other spaces). There is often careful bookkeeping with lengths, which suggests that one is…
We show how to make precise the vague idea that for compact metric spaces that are close together for Gromov-Hausdorff distance, suitable vector bundles on one metric space will have counterpart vector bundles on the other. Our approach…
For any sequence of matrix algebras that converge to a coadjoint orbit we give explicit formulas that show that the distances between the matrix algebras (viewed as quantum metric spaces) converges to 0. In the process we develop a general…
Marc Rieffel had introduced the notion of the quantum Gromov-Hausdorff distance on compact quantum metric spaces and found a sequence of matrix algebras that converges to the space of continuous functions on $2$-sphere in this distance. One…
We develop a matricial version of Rieffel's Gromov-Hausdorff distance for compact quantum metric spaces within the setting of operator systems and unital C*-algebras. Our approach yields a metric space of ``isometric'' unital complete order…
By a quantum metric space we mean a C^*-algebra (or more generally an order-unit space) equipped with a generalization of the Lipschitz seminorm on functions which is defined by an ordinary metric. We develop for compact quantum metric…
A quantized metric space is a matrix order unit space equipped with an operator space version of Rieffel's Lip-norm. We develop for quantized metric spaces an operator space version of quantum Gromov-Hausdorff distance. We show that two…
We introduce a metric on Hilbert modules equipped with a generalized form of a differential structure, thus extending Gromov-Hausdorff convergence theory to vector bundles and quantum vector bundles --- not convergence as total space but…
We study the convergence aspects of the metric on spectral truncations of geometry. We find general conditions on sequences of operator system spectral triples that allows one to prove a result on Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of the…
Associated to the standard $SU_{q}(n)$ R-matrices, we introduce quantum spheres $S_{q}^{2n-1}$, projective quantum spaces $CP_{q}^{n-1}$, and quantum Grassmann manifolds $G_{k}(C_{q}^{n})$. These algebras are shown to be homogeneous quantum…
A labeled metric space is intuitively speaking a metric space together with a special set of points to be understood as the geometric boundary of the space. We study basic properties of a recently introduced labeled Gromov-Hausdorff…
We introduce a new quantum Gromov-Hausdorff distance between C*-algebraic compact quantum metric spaces. Because it is able to distinguish algebraic structures, this new distance fixes a weakness of Rieffel's quantum distance. We show that…
Matrices are typically considered over fields or rings. Motivated by applications in parametric differential equations and data-driven modeling, we suggest to study matrices with entries from a Hilbert space and present an elementary theory…
The Gromov-Hausdorff distance between two metric spaces measures how far the spaces are from being isometric. It has played an important and longstanding role in geometry and shape comparison. More recently, it has been discovered that the…
Given a unital AF-algebra $A$ equipped with a faithful tracial state, we equip each (norm-closed two-sided) ideal of $A$ with a metrized quantum vector bundle structure, when canonically viewed as a module over $A$, in the sense of…
Given a compact metric space X and a unital C*-algebra A, we introduce a family of seminorms on the C*-algebra of continuous functions from X to A, denoted C(X, A), induced by classical Lipschitz seminorms that produce compact quantum…
We show that Bunce-Deddens algebras, which are AT-algebras, are also limits of circle algebras for Rieffel's quantum Gromov-Hausdorff distance, and moreover, form a continuous family indexed by the Baire space. To this end, we endow…
A distance between von Neumann algebras is introduced, depending on a further norm inducing the $w^*$-topology on bounded sets. Such notion is related both with the Gromov-Hausdorff distance for quantum metric spaces of Rieffel and with the…
